The Court Order goes on to state:
“Defendant, State Farm, and its counsel repeatedly and in
bad faith engaged in litigation misconduct during the
following court ordered depositions: Susan Hood I; Susan
Hood II; Michael Carroll; Daniel Carrigan; Deborah
Traskell; and Jack North. At the time of these depositions,
State Farm had the right to control and is therefore
responsible for the actions and positions taken by its
witnesses and selected counsel who are attorneys retained
on a regular basis by State Farm. Plaintiffs are awarded
their expenses, costs and attorneys’ fees incurred for each
of the aforementioned depositions so as to sanction State
Farm for its obstructionist behavior and to deter future
abuses.”
“State Farm’s counsel is prohibited from making any
suggestive or obstructive speaking objections during all
future depositions. Any objection made shall be limited to
stating objection to the form.”
